Sorry it is so long but please read it all carefully. It has some very important information and dates.

Gala basket

The school’s annual gala fundraiser is coming up in March. Our class was assigned to get donations to fill our basket that has a theme of Sports fans. Ideas would be balls of all sorts, goals, gloves, bats, Frisbee’s, camp chairs, blankets, water bottles, snacks, or gift cards. If you can donate anything along this theme that would be awesome. Email me if you have any questions. Here is an Amazon wish list that has some ideas for our basket if you want to quickly order something. MAPA has a limited amount of coupons for a free cookie or slushee at Maverick for every child who donates something. They are first come first served.

March Home Project

The theme for March’s Home Project is Ancient Civilizations. They need to do a report about the ancient civilization they signed up for in class. They can do their project in many different ways. If you have any questions about anything just send me an email. If your child has their own idea that is great as well. Just email and make sure it will work out. I really want this to be a creative and fun project that follows their interests. It is due Monday, March 23rd.

  • do a power point

  • Friday
    • We would like to have community readers come in on Friday. We have some junior high students who are coming into our class as well to read. If any parent or adult would like to come into class and share either all or part of their favorite book we would love that as well.

Field trip reminders

The permission slips will be coming home next week with more details. These are both amazing field trips and the kids look forward to them from the time they are 4th graders and see their peers going.

We are going on a 5th grade field trip to JA Biz Town on Tuesday, March 10th. We need parents drivers and chaperones for this field trip. Please email me if you are interested as we only have a few slots open. It is in SLC. The 5th graders all applied for different jobs and the sixth graders who went last year interviewed them. Our class is in charge of Delta Airlines and Hill Air Force Base. Ask your child what job they were offered after the interviews. They took this very seriously and had some intense interviews.

We are going on a 6th grade field trip to Clark Planetarium on Wednesday, March 11th. We are taking the Frontrunner and do not need drivers.
